2 to 7, the photocatalytic device 100 according to the present invention includes a body 110, a light source 120 for irradiating ultraviolet light, and a catalytic unit 130 for generating a photocatalytic reaction.

The body 110 supports the light source unit 120 and the catalytic unit 130 and has a fixing part 111 for fixing the automotive air conditioner 1000 to the air conditioning case 300, In the air conditioning case 300 of FIG.

At this time, the shape of the fixing portion 111 may be variously formed to be fixed to the air conditioning case 300.

The body 110 includes a supporting part 112, a space forming part 113 and a catalyst supporting part 112. The supporting part 112 is a part for supporting the substrate 122 of the light source part 120, The space forming part 113 extends from the supporting part 112 to the catalytic part 130 so that the light emitted from the LED 121 of the light source part 120 is transmitted to the catalyst part 130 And the catalytic portion 130. The catalytic portion 130 may be formed of a metal or the like.

At this time, the space forming part 113 is formed to be inclined from the supporting part 112 so as to be wider in the light irradiation direction of the light source part 120 (the forming direction of the catalyst part 130) The light irradiated from the light source unit 120 mounted on the catalyst unit 130 is guided to the catalyst unit 130 and concentrated on the catalyst unit 130 to increase the amount of the catalyst reaction.

The catalyst trapping portion 114 is a portion where the catalyst portion 130 is provided and the air inside the air conditioning case 300 of the automotive air conditioner 1000 is guided to the catalyst portion 130 side by the catalyst portion 130 Respectively.

Particularly, one surface of the catalytic portion 130 (the opposite surface of the side where the support portion 112 is provided) is formed to be exposed to the inside of the air conditioning case 300. At this time, the catalyst addition portion 114 may include a step portion 114a which protrudes inward to support the catalyst portion 130 adjacent to the space forming portion 113. [

The catalyzer 130 may be slidably coupled to the catalytic converter 130 such that the catalytic converter 130 can be detached from the catalytic converter 130 so that the catalytic converter 130 can be mounted and checked easily. And more various forms capable of being desorbed.

In addition, the body 110 may have a circular shape and various shapes including a rectangular shape in cross section.

The light source unit 120 is fixed to the body 110 and emits ultraviolet light. The light source unit 120 includes a light emitting diode (LED) 121 and a substrate 122 on which the LED 121 is fixed .

The LED 121 irradiates UVA (Ultra Violet-A) light or UVV (Ultra Violet-C) light having a wavelength of 400 nm or less and solves the problem of mercury use which has been a problem in conventional mercury lamps, Effective light irradiation is possible.

UVA is advantageous in terms of cost because it is relatively inexpensive and effectively activates the photocatalytic reaction of the photocatalyst carrier.

UVC is relatively expensive but can act to activate the photocatalytic reaction and at the same time to perform its own sterilizing function to improve sterilization efficiency.

At least two light sources 120 may be provided corresponding to the size of the catalyst unit 130.

Means that at least two LEDs 121 and its substrate 122 are provided and that at least two LEDs 121 are provided on one substrate 122 And the like.

Of course, when two or more of the LEDs 121 are provided, all the LEDs 121 that emit UVA (Ultra Violet-A) and UVC (Ultra Violet-C) may be provided.

The catalytic unit 130 generates photocatalytic reaction by the light irradiated by the light source unit 120 and generates oxygen radicals.

The catalytic unit 130 generates a photocatalytic reaction by the light irradiated from the light source unit 120, and the contaminants introduced into the air conditioning case 300 by the oxidizing action of the oxygen radical generated in the photocatalytic reaction, Thereby removing fungi, various pollutants, and odors in the fuel cell 410.

More specifically, when the light emitted from the light source unit 120 is absorbed by the catalytic unit 130, the electrons of the valence band (VB), which is filled with electrons, absorb the light energy, (Conduction Band: CB).

Hole, the empty electron spot of the valence band, oxidizes the water molecules on the surface, and the oxidized water molecules form OH radicals.

In addition, an excited electron, excited by a conduction band, reacts with oxygen to produce a strong oxidizing oxygen radical.

Meanwhile, the catalyst unit 130 may include a coating layer 132 coated with a carrier 131, a cocatalyst, and an acidic additive added thereto to carry a catalyst, which is liquefied in a gel state, on the carrier 131 .

The support body 131 includes a plurality of pores therein. The support body 131 may have various structures including a mesh, and may be formed of a material having metal or elastic characteristics.

At this time, the carrier 131 is formed to have a porosity (porosity with respect to the entire volume) of at least 80% and a thickness of 5 mm to 50 mm.

In addition, the support body 131 has a thickness of 5 mm and may be formed of at least one layer.

The coating layer 132 comprises 10% to 30% of the total weight of the carrier 131 in the form of a gel-liquefied catalyst added with a cocatalyst and an acidic additive.

And titanium oxide particles 10 to 60 nanometers in particle size as the catalyst.

Titanium oxide (TiO 2 ), which is used as a photocatalyst, absorbs ultraviolet rays of 400 nm or less and generates oxygen radicals. The generated oxygen radical decomposes organics into safe water and carbon dioxide.

The titanium oxide is nanoparticles, and a large amount of oxygen radicals can be produced even by using a light source having a relatively weak ultraviolet wavelength.

Therefore, it has excellent decomposing ability of organic matter, has persistent durability and stability against environmental change, and has a semi-permanent effect.

In addition, a large amount of oxygen radical can remove various substances such as odors, bacteria and the like as well as organic substances.

Since the catalytic portion 130 has a surface area value of nanoparticulate titanium oxide of 330 m 2 / g or more, the number of particles that receive light energy per area is much larger than that of ordinary titanium oxide, .

At this time, the co-catalyst may be alumina. In this case, the supporting force of the catalytic portion 130 can be further improved and the fixing ability of the carrier 131 can be increased.

5 to 6, the photocatalytic device 100 according to the present invention may further include a heat dissipation unit 141 and 142 for dissipating heat generated in the light source unit 120, And may include a radiating fin 141.

The first heat radiating fin 141 is provided on the substrate 122 to radiate heat and the light source 120 emits heat generated from the LED 121 and the substrate 122 to maintain a high light intensity. The first radiating fins 141 are formed in a region other than a region irradiated with light from the LED 121 to the catalyst portion 130.

The first radiating fins 141 may be formed in various shapes including a fin and a plate shape. When the first radiating fins 141 are in the form of a plate, the first radiating fins 141 may be formed on one side of the substrate 122 having the LED 121 Air flow direction.

The space 121 is formed between the one side of the substrate 122 having the LED 121 inside the body 110 and the catalyst part 130 and the space There is a region irradiated with light by the catalytic unit 130, and the first radiating fin 141 is provided to dissipate heat through the air flowing in this region.

5, the first heat-radiating fins 141 do not protrude from the center region of the LED 121 in the left and right direction (air flow direction) So that heat can be easily released without blocking light emitted from the LED 121. [

Unlike the light source unit 120 including the LED 121 formed in the photocatalyst apparatus 100 according to the present invention, even when two or more LEDs 121 are provided, It is possible to freely form the region except the region irradiated with the light.

6, the heat dissipation unit may include a second heat dissipation fin 142 disposed on the opposite side of the substrate 122 on which the LED 121 is mounted.

The second radiating fins 142 are formed on the opposite side of the substrate 122 on which the first radiating fins 141 and the LEDs 121 are provided and may be formed on the substrate 122, And the heat generated from the light source unit 120 is emitted.

Particularly, when the second radiating fins 142 are formed on the substrate 122, the body 110 has a certain region of the support 112 so that the second radiating fins 142 are inserted and protruded to the outside, A hollow portion 112a may be formed.

The photocatalyst 100 of the present invention can effectively emit heat generated from the LED 121 by having one or both of the first radiating fin 141 and the second radiating fin 142, High durability can be maintained, and sterilization and deodorization performance can be continuously maintained.

The first radiating fins 141 and the second radiating fins 142 are closely attached to both sides of the substrate 122 and are configured to fix the substrate 122 to the supporting portion 112 of the body 110 It may be concluded at once.

In addition, the substrate 122 of the photocatalyst 100 according to the present invention may be a radiator plate, and the substrate 122 itself may be a radiator.

<Optimal Combination Test of Factors for Maximum Performance of Photocatalyst Apparatus>

In order to obtain the optimal combination of factors for the maximum performance of the photocatalytic device 100 according to the present invention, a performance evaluation test for each combination of factors was performed.

First, the photocatalyst apparatus of the present invention was prepared in an acrylic test box and a test gas was injected. At this time, the test gas to be injected was used as trimethylamine, and the analysis of trimethylamine was carried out using a gas analyzer using infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR).

[Table 1]

Figure 112015068004334-pat00001

As shown in Table 1, the performance of the photocatalytic device 100 is evaluated by comparing the porosity and thickness of the carrier 131, the weight of the catalyst, and the LED 121 of the light source unit 120, ) Was designated as the test factor.

The degree of porosity of the carrier 131 depends on the number of times the catalyst is carried, the permeability, and the permeability of the light emitted from the light source 120 when the carrier is composed of at least two layers, 131 increases in accordance with the volume of the carrier 131, and when the catalyst-containing fragrance is high, the contact area with the ultraviolet light increases and the generation of radicals increases.

At this time, the support body 131 has a thickness of 5 mm to 15 mm, and the support body has a thickness of 5 to 15 mm.

In addition, the weight of the catalyst affects the radical generation performance depending on the type of additive and cocatalyst and mixing ratio, and affects the photocatalytic reaction depending on the particle size of the titanium oxide.

In the case of the number of LEDs 121, the catalytic reaction area increases depending on the quantity of the light source, which affects the reaction intensity and affects radical generation.

As a result of the tests conducted in consideration of the characteristics of these factors, as shown in Figs. 8 to 9 and Table 2 below, it was confirmed that the carrier 131 having pores of 94% and 5 mm had three layers, The weight of the catalyst having the weight of 20% based on the weight of the LED 131 and the combination of the three LEDs 121 showed the maximum performance.

However, in the case of the combination of one LED, the manufacturing cost of the photocatalyst device is increased due to the combination of three LEDs.
